Acapela TTS Engine

This speech-synthesis engine is designed for efficiency, speed, and high quality. It’s an exclusive extension for Chromebook users operating on Chrome OS.

The extension is initially free, allowing users to explore various voices online. However, purchasing is required for full integration with the Chromebook system, enabling use with any TTS-compatible app (like ChromeVox).

Acapela Group’s Premium Voices

Enhance your Chromebook with up to 100 voices across 30 languages.

Voice technology is revolutionizing user interaction, and Acapela’s wide range of voices, including 30 new languages and over 100 variations, expands the Chromebook’s native capabilities. This collection features both adult and child voices, empowering students to select options that best suit their age and preferences for a more personalized learning experience.

Text-to-speech is especially beneficial for slow readers, those needing writing feedback or proofreading assistance, individuals experiencing visual stress from reading on paper or screens, and learners who benefit from hearing and seeing text simultaneously. Immediate auditory feedback aids in word recognition, attention, memory retention, and self-correction in writing. Additionally, the extensive language selection enhances opportunities for language learning.

Available languages include: Arabic, Catalan, Czech, Danish, Dutch (Belgium), Dutch (NL), English (Australia), English (India), English (Scotland), English (UK), English (US), Faroese, Finnish, French, French (Canada), German, Greek, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish, Spanish (North America), Swedish, and various Swedish dialects, and Turkish.
